There might be nothing riding on the game from a Liverpool perspective, but all eyes will be on Mohamed Salah later this weekend as the Reds take on Spurs.

His absence, presumably, was the reason for the falling out.

There is a question mark hanging over Salah to some degree heading into the summer.



That would be a big leap to make, but there is some rationale behind it.

Liverpool is not expecting to lose Salah this summer, however, and there is no reason whatsoever to think that he would be any more tempted by the riches of the Saudi Pro League, even if the interest from the Middle East remains a year on from it emerging.

And as the Klopp argument proved, that is not always easy.

Purely from a sporting perspective, Salah remains hugely influential for Liverpool.

That is a career-best for most good forwards.

Now in his 30s, Salah is not as explosive as he once was.

At his best, and even when below par, he is a lot, lot more than that.

With The Athletic reporting this week that Liverpool could sign another forward this summer, that would make the most sense if it meant Salah playing inside more often.
